Product description

This original English infantry sword or falchion from the late 15th century has been part of the collection of the Royal Armouries since 1916 (object number IX.144). The exact origin before that time is unknown. This type of short sword was a popular sidearm for pikemen and archers during the Wars of the Roses and in the early Tudor period. Thousands of such swords were used in battles like Towton, Barnet, Tewkesbury, and Bosworth.

This specimen features a single-edged blade with subtle transitions in the cross-section, a clever hollow grind, and a fuller. The elegant blade has a slender yet strong point and a thick spine that can withstand the rigors of combat against armored opponents in gambeson, mail, and plate armor.

This replica is crafted with a hand-forged blade by an experienced smith, using modern 1080 high carbon steel that is fully hardened and distally tapered for optimal weight distribution. The scabbard is made with a wooden core and is covered with leather. The tip is reinforced with a bronze point. At the top, the leather rises and covers part of the crossguard. Included is a certificate of authenticity and a polishing cloth.
